“The glamor of evil is seductive.”
True. What does that fact have to do with this song?

“What is evil about Metallica? Their sound?”
This is something of which it is almost impossible to persuade lovers of evil music, so I’m not going to try.
One thing I might recommend is going back to the early days of rock (dancing) and roll (f*cking) and revisiting the evils that were predicted to result from it. And yes, that is what rock and roll means, and always has.
Find one case in which these dire predictions turned out to be false. Start with the fact that I can write “f*cking” in a public place without being arrested for it as a case in point.
I was jamming to both before they even got famous. Ah, so many moons ago....
“Ive listened to bands like Megadeth, Metallica, and Iron Maiden most of my life and never had an urge to conjure a demon”

“You’re the one who missed the point. I was equating your hypocritical moralism with the reception received by many of the great works.”
That would only make sense if (1) Any mention of sin indicated satanic inspiration, even where it is presented appropriately, and (2) if there were any hypocrisy in what I said.
Both those conditions are false, and calling someone a hypocrite because you have no legitimate argument to make is more than moderately sleazy.
